Texas Man continues California’s doctor on the postal abortion pills in the historic case

A man from Texas filed an unjustified federal death complaint against an abortion supplier in California, alleging that the doctor “murdered” his children to be born by sending abortion pills through the State.

The case, Rodriguez c. Coeytals, marks the first of its kind to test how pro-life litigants can go to bypass laws on the abortion of blue state using hundred-year-old federal laws and the Civil Code of Texas.

Placed on July 20 in the South Texas District, the trial accuses Dr. Remy Coeytals of having helped illegal self -managed abortions in 2024, by sending inductive drugs to abortion in the county of Galveston, Texas, where they would have been used to end two pregnancies.

The applicant Jerry Rodriguez says that the husband separated from his girlfriend bought the coeytal pills through a Veno transaction and rushed to take them, ending two pregnancies, according to Rodriguez.

At the heart of the prosecution is an alleged payment of vemo at $ 150 at “Remy Coeytaux MD PC” labeled “AED AED”, followed by the name of his girlfriend. The trial indicates that Rodriguez interprets the “AED axes” as a phonetic spelling of “AID Access”, a network that helps women obtain abortion pills.

Rodriguez alleged that the first abortion occurred in September 2024, at the home of her girlfriend’s mother, and the second in January 2025, at her distant husband’s home. January ultrasound images, attached as part 2, are offered as proof of a second pregnancy. According to the complaint, the baby was a boy.

Rodriguez requests more than $ 75,000 in damages, the certification of a national class of “fathers of children to be born” and a permanent injunction prohibiting coeytals from sending drugs against violation of the law of the state or the federal law.

The legal foundation of the complaint drew attention. The trial dates back to the long-term comstock law, an anti-compliance federal law of 1873 prohibiting the sending of materials related to abortion. Although not applied for over a century, the Comstock Act remains in books.

Jonathan Mitchell, the lawyer for the Texas Cardiac Beat (SB8), represents Rodriguez in the case. He maintains that Dr. Remy Coeytals violated 18 USC §§ 1461 and 1462, the Federal Comstock Act, knowing knowingly the mail to send drugs inducing the abortion of California to Texas.

The prosecution also alleges that Coeytals has committed a crime murder in the context of the Texas Criminal Code § 19.02 knowingly helping an illegal abortion. He cites multiple violations of the law of Texas, including laws which require that the drug drugs be administered only by doctors in the state, after informed consent and compulsory ultrasound, and only in authorized abortion establishments. Coeytals, which is not authorized in Texas, did not meet any of these requirements.

The case is already considered a strategic test of laws on the abortion shield of blue state. States like California, New York and Washington have adopted measures to protect their abortion providers against legal risks when processing patients outside the state.

But Rodriguez’s legal team avoided these roadblocks by fileing an action to unjustified civil death directly before the Federal Court, a move that certain legal researchers could offer a new route for anti-abortion applicants to reach providers beyond the borders of their own state.

On Friday, the judicial files show that Coeytals had not applied to the complaint, and he made no public declaration on the case.

The pro-avoort groups should contest both the interpretation of the Comstock Act and the position of private citizens to provide unjustified death complaints linked to the prescriptions of Télésanté outside the state.

If the case survives the first procedural obstacles, it can offer a new model to the pro-life litigants to target the supply chain for abortion pills three years after the Dobbs tranche at the Supreme Court.

Coeytals did not immediately respond to the request for comments from Fox News Digital.
